i've been writing elsewhere, and it's time for that unveiling. i wanted to get a few weeks of posts under my belt before mentioning it semi-publicly so that i could be sure that i could sustain writing and posting daily.
the blog is called buntz and it's on wordpress. i've had the account for two years, but only started writing in it as of may.
the most popular post is called boing boing'd, and it deals with the furor over boing boing erasing all posts mentioning violet blue. violet herself actually linked me (twice--those links are nsfw, for the record) which was a pretty cool feeling, and explains why that post has been read more times than any other on the blog.
on mondays i do a recurring post called to what i am listening where i talk about the music that's been in my head lately. that link is to the latest installment, volume seven.
i also do more personal posts on fridays called pillaging the past, usually talking about something specific about me or that has happened to me.
other than that, it's the usual blog fare i suppose--mini-essays about things. the reason i started writing there instead of here is that this space (my livejournal account) has deep roots back through high school, and it would be strange for me to start writing in formal language, using capitalization and worrying about how things might be worded. it's difficult to explain, but i feel more comfortable with this being a more informal space for my writing, and that being a space with more structured writing and scheduling. the wordpress blog is somewhere that i can point other people to that represents its own distinct body of work, coherent on its own terms--if i were to do the type of writing here that i do there, it wouldn't make sense to me. doing that would involve a fundamental shift i'm not entirely comfortable with.
that said, i will still write here with the same regularity that i have over the past couple years (which is to say, not that regularly). as it is, i think i've posted here more since i've started the blog than i posted over the past twelve months. explain that, will you!
anyway, there you go.
